Limbo,

Bright. Bright lights. All around me.

My eyes are opened wide.

Yet the light...

It feels so dark.

I feel like I'm falling.

This.... weightlessness that seems to embrace me in it's invisible caress.

Am I dead?

What happened?

I shut my eyes tightly, the gears within my brain grinding to a halt.

I cannot remember.

Something catches me and cease to fall.

Opening my curious eyes I see nothing but my memories cascading all around me.

Shattering like fragile glass against the impenetrable floor I lay upon.

It's many fragments shooting all around me, cutting me to pieces.

I try to scream but I cannot catch my breath.

It's seems to have escaped me.

I curl into a ball.

Watching hopelessly as my mind explodes all around me.

Catching glimpses of my life as they slide around me like melting icicles upon a ceramic surface.

I see you pressing that knife gently to my throat.

You promised that you'd follow.

But where'd you go?

Why have you left me all alone?

You promised me a better tomorrow.

Yet left me here today.

The first few tears slip down my cheeks.

A blood red to match my wounds.

I trace my fingers along the imaginary figure of you.

Holding me close.

I swear I heard your heart beat.

My fist is clenched.

We promised to go together.

To be immortal forever.

Yet here I cower, all alone.

The fatal wounds you inflicted in the name of this suicidal thing we call love.

Bound in Limbo. All alone.

You just stand there over my body as the last few rays of life drain from my eyes.

Second thoughts.

My last memory, playing like a movie reel.

I saw you set the knife down.

I bow my head in silence as the scene ends.

"I still love you."

Curtains close...


Cue the credits.
